In the coming years, their attention will still be een- tered upon you. Therefore, when the world and its standards will be placed before you-stand firm to the principles of Christ and His religion. Then, and only then, will they see that your Christian education has been a success. May God bless you on this great occasion. May His blessing remain with you every day. Rev. Benedict Huck, C.P. how that school doors .uc closed, tcac icrs' voices but a memory and books shelved, you stand on the verge ol' a new lile. As your eyes take in the length and the breadth, many thoughts will crowd your tnindsg anxieties, perplexities, ambitions: right and wrong: justice and injustice. Fortunately, with your background of Catholic thouglu, you will be made to realize that you belong to that kingly priesthood of which St. Paul spoke when addressing all his faithful, and the late Holy Father Pope, Pitts XI. used to im- press the pilgrints who visited him during the Holy Year. XVith this thought in mind, let me congratulate you on yottr perseverance in a Catholic atmos- phere. on your successful achievement and your splendid good will in all undertakings lor the tnaintenance ol' an institution that prides itsell' in ollering to a public, men and women of char- acter, ol' faith and justice.
